Another pilgrim said carrying out the Haj will earn rewards and blessings, so the obligatory rituals should be carried out in the proper manner. “We are also taught to increase commendable practices such as performing Sunnat prayers, reading Al-Quran, increasing Tawaf Sunnat, supplications, recitation of Zikir, Selawat, I’tikaf and giving of alms,” she said. Yesterday, prior to the Junjung Ziarah, the pilgrims were screened for COVID-19 with antigen rapid test (ART) kits. The pilgrims performed Zohor prayers, followed by Sunnat Hajat prayers for safe passage, before greeting His Majesty and His Royal Highness. Male pilgrims were given a bag containing white Ihram clothes which will be worn during the Islamic pilgrimage while female pilgrims received Telekong (prayer veils). The pilgrims underwent theory and practical courses in May to learn Haj rituals, such as Tawaf (circling seven times around the Kaabah), the Sa’ie from Safa to Marwah and throwing of stones at Jamarat.
